AHHHHHH Need help or a slap round the face :(

[MotorbikerTom]

I'm in the process of getting my bike back on the road after my off a week ago. Parts came today everythings fine, then i realise after putting on my new clutch lever, that it doesn't have a hole for the mirrors So annoyed! I'm about to put the old (bent) lever back on, after attempting to bend it back. Are there any fittings you can get from halfords or anywhere else?

AND i have Oxford bar ends, i just can't get it in the grip! I've tried pushing it in but it just doesn't go! They are the right size as well?

I'm confused :S, the clutch LEVER doesnt have a hole for the mirrors? the actual lever doesn't, it should be incorporated into the part that goes round the bar that the lever slots into. The lever just clips onto the cable and a pivot bold goes through it and a hole in the mount.

Oh sorry, i meant the new mount doesn't have a hole. I tried to see if the lever could fit into the old mount but the bolt doesnt fit properly :/

Well without sounding like a complete idiot, the black bit between the end of the bar end and the nut seems to be too big to fit in. I have loosened it so the nut comes off but i just can't fit it in.

Do you have non-standard bars? Renthal ones, for example, have a smaller ID than OEM ones due to being aluminium rather than steel.

Loosen the bolt enough to take the pressure off the rubber then twist it, (one way only), while sticking it in the end of the bar. Don't push too hard or the rubber will catch and expand in the bar.
Were the same type fitted before? Have you had a look down the bar to make sure there's no obstruction?

Yeah it has renthal bars so possible aren't the best fit. It's okay now though, all on and ready to go
